shiiiiiiiit
GARETH SOUTHGATE THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND IS WITH YOU
>Joe Hart
>Jordan Henderson
>tarkowski
>mawson
>pope
>cook
who?
>No Cahill or Smalling
>Pope, Tarkowski and Maguire rightfully called up
Finally a decent squ...
>Hart
>Henderson
>Welbeck
>Livermore
>Joe Hart
For what purpose.
Should have given Shelvey a crack imho.
>Hart will be on the plane because muh experience
>mfw that of all those four teams, England is the only one at the WC this year
i think international friendlies are shit
>mfw that of all those four teams
??????
>4 GKs
Fucking why
trolled!!
with a bit of luck england could pass the wc group stage
There are 5-6 names in there that I have honestly never heard of before.
>Southgate does the 'I'll select players based on form and not reputation' schtick
>doesn't call up James Maddison
But they're used in FIFA rankings, which are used to seed tournaments. They're not even friendlies. Ask the Italians, who are are notorious for not giving a fuck about friendlies, then getting shit seeds for touraments and qualifications, then not qualifying.
Friendlies matter.
>Lallana
>Wekbeck
>Henderson
This is why they're scrapping European friendlies for the UEFA Nations League™, it stops teams like Poland and Switzerland gaming the yearly average system.
>Danny Welbeck
>Joe Hart
>Lewis Cook
>James Tarkowski
>Jake Livermore
>Shitbeck
>No Callum Wilson
Southgate is even more of a useless cunt than woyes was.
Joe Hart is actually going to start in the 2018 world cup, isn't he lads?
No, he'll be wasting a spot on the bench though
muh champions league experience
since he's probably the 3rd best keeper in england that's ok.
That's a shit load of defenders. And 4 keepers too. What's he playing at? Livermore still there too.
>joe Hart will start in Russia
Doubt it, Southgate has been rotating the other keepers so far.
>vardy and welbeck playing up front together in a 4-4-2
What a time to be alive.
>caring how england do
i think the last time i did was 2002, how you can muster up even a bit of shit to give is beyond me
Not even top 5
Goteem
who is supposed to be captain of these soy boys?
Your defense is that bad
Players who shouldn't be in squad:
>Gomez
>Hart
>Livermore (seriously wtf?)
>Welbeck
>Lingard
Players who aren't there that should be:
>Ward-Prowse
>Albrighton
>Shelvey
>Wilson
>Maddison
>Dier (is he injured?)
holy shit. there isn't a single leader on the english roster. how the fuck can they win a tournament like this.
Neat. Did not know that.
Dier, Kane (unironically the best atm), and Hendo
>select 10 centre backs
>leaves out Lascelles
Sessengnon deserves a cap too
henderson, walker, dier
>Dier
dumb as a rock with zero personality. i seriously doubt he can tie his own boots
>Kane
unironically, he probably is the captain. but does he have the passion to fire of the lads at half if they are down 2-1 to germany.
>Henderson
I thought he was dead
Also possibly deserving callups:
Mee, Cork, Lascelles, Calvert-Lewin, Austin (although iirc he's injured atm still), Drinky (over Livermore any day).
Really just shocking how someone's only job for 8 months a year is choosing which players are the best and they can still get it this wrong
>Walker
le run in a straight line and be angry man
This is depressing lads.
OH ITS SAVED
SAVED
SAVED
>Joe Gomez is being kept out of the Liverpool squad by Alexander-Arnold
>Southgate selects Gomez
I swear Southgate doesn't actually watch football and just glances at the table to pick a couple of players from inform teams alongside the usual suspects so it looks like he isn't being biased.
well, it's england
you talkin like they NOW won't be able to win a title, they've literally only won 1 (one) title in the last 100 years, this is just normal shit for them
>they can still get it this wrong
Because most NT managers are complete frauds.
Lingard is fine and Dier is there but Albrighton still having never received a call up is ridiculous.
Glenn Murray should be in with a shout too. Rashford and Welbeck as the strikers in line behind Vardy doesn't fill me with great confidence.
Haven't watched an England friendly since they played Ghana
>England has never been shitter since the HG rule was introduced
Really makes you think.
>tfw we didnt bully JFs into easy world cups when we had the chance
damn sportsmanship
>uh rait frendlys
why are lallana and welbeck there?
A crack at goalkeeping, or..?
>have best player of all time
>can't win a WC
las malvinas son britanicas btw
>pick welbeck who is in abysmal form and is hardly playing over murray who is in the form of his life right now
this tells you all you need to know, southgate is a yes man and is definitely not picking players on playing time and form
I understand henderson and wilshire but overlooking drinkwater is ludicrous
>unironically picking the worst player from the worst team in the PL
is southgate this thick?
it pisses me off how we have actual young talent coming though and the same shitcunts like wilshere and welbeck automatically get picked
-----------------Butland--------------------
Walker--Maguire--Stones---Bertrand
-------------Dier---Wilshere---------------
-------------------Alli--------------------------
Sterling-------Vardy----------Rashford
I actually don't think this team is too bad. That front 3 has so much pace
>wilshere
He's actually good though, the only creativity in midfield.
ox should play instead of wilshere we don't need to be so defensive
maybe 4-5 years ago but his career is dead at this point, he's going to everton in the summer which proves it
drinkwater should be called carrywater, all he does
too black
>no lewis dunk
it's like southgate doesn't even watch any matches
gets a bit sun reader in here when england play, do you lads hang england flags on your windows and everything?
>Dier
>dumb as a rock
Dier isn't dumb at all. Comes from a rich family, well-educated, and he's fluent in Portuguese. He just seems dumb because he's big and likes to foul people.
couldn't give a shit about england when they still pick shit like welbeck and livermore
>Bertrand
>Butland
>Cook
>Dier
>Gomez
>Lingard
>Livermore
>Maguire
>Mawson
>Pickford
>Pope
>Rashford
>Rose
>Tarkowski
>Trippier
>Walker
Who are these people?
>Ashley Young
Isn't this this guy that used to be okay at Arsenal or Chelsea or somewhere in London in like 2005?
remember when wilshere got picked over drinkwater at the euros after drinkwater won the PL with a championship club and wilshere played 0 games all season
that's when I stopped giving a shit about england
United, also genuinely the worst scumbag diver the league has ever seen
Against good midfields he's shit
the fact that young got picked for left back over delph shows that southgate is an actual clueless retard
>thinking delph at LB would work for England
lmao
>hart
>henderson
>livermore
>FUCKING WELBECK
All proven failures at international tournaments. Meanwhile shelvey is playing better than ever. Fuck this gay earth
a lot better than young would
leighton baines should have been in the squad over both of them
who are you the fucking diversity police
Delph not still injured?
same with glen murray
he is scoring every week and welbeck still gets picked over him
Baines was atrocious in the last WC.
Is this last friendly before world cup?
no he's been suspended for 3 games
he is still the best LB in the squad, miles ahead of shaw, bertrand or cresswell
everton look like a different team with him and coleman back
Drinkwater isn't exactly in great form either. Sure I'd take him over Livermoore but Cork is far better than them both right now.
Delph is injured but would unironically be a good utility player to take.
political correctness gone mad innit
Yeah you're right, fucking hell. He's been good when he's not up against pace babbies.
>Oh boy some of our last friendlies before WC
>Chance to give some in form players a chance to stake a claim rather than the same ones who've been failing for years
>Hart
>Welbeck
>Livermore
>oh....
Literally what have those players done to deserve a fucking call up.
he's been solid for chelsea every time he has played and is much better than shit like livermore and wilshere
and they will still get called up to the WC squad
we're actually just a joke now
Delph should play CM, you know, his natural position. Certainly a better option than Livermore et al. Him at LB for England would be horrendous, only works in Poop's system.
us calling up welbeck is the equivalent of spain calling up soldado during his spurs days
they would just get laughed at
Does anyone ever just stop for a moment, and think to themselves, how the fuck have we reached the point where Southgate is manager?
From this day forth, I propose Southgate becomes attached to any "brainlet" posts, not the paint drawings.
He looks like a rabbit in headlights, and literally has never EVER done anything but fail
Pretty sure Welbeck is only in because Kane is injured. Who are your other options? Sturridge, Carroll and Defoe.
Don't you know football is scripted? This is his ultimate redemption arc
glenn murray
to be fair soldado can't do a job on the wings
England's brave Glenn Murray
Give Murray a chance
